Newspaper Editors vs Generals


OJR

Recommended Posts

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic

defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late."

"Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously

superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing

editorials - after the fact."

Robert E. Lee, 1863
